Synthesis and characterization of ionic liquid immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles: A recyclable heterogeneous organocatalyst for the acetylation of alcohols

Herein, we describe a simple and efficient procedure for the preparation of 3-((3-(trisilyloxy)propyl)propionamide)-1-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid supported on magnetic nanoparticle (TPPA-IL-Fe3O4). The structure of this magnetic ionic liquid is fully characterized by FT-IR, TGA, XRD, VSM, SEM, EDX and DLS techniques. TPPA-IL-Fe3O4 is employed as a catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols with acetic anhydride under mild and heterogeneous conditions at room temperature with good to excellent yields. The magnetic catalyst could be readily separate from the reaction media by simple magnetic decantation, and reused several times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Rice husk: Introduction of a green, cheap and reusable catalyst for the protection of alcohols, phenols, amines and thiols

A mild, efficient and eco-friendly protocol for the chemoselective protection of benzylic and primary and less hindered secondary aliphatic alcohols and phenols as trimethylsilyl ethers and different types of amines as N-tert-butylcarbamates is developed using rice husk (RiH) as the catalyst. This reagent is also able to catalyze the acetylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines with acetic anhydride. Easy work-up, relatively short reaction times, excellent yields and low cost, availability and reusability of the catalyst are the striking features of this methodology, which can be considered to be one of the best and general methods for the protection of alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines. In addition, the use of a green reagent in the above-mentioned reactions results in a reduction of environmental pollution and of the cost of the applied methods.

Acetylation of alcohols with acetic anhydride promoted by N,N,N-trimethylanilinium tribromide

A wide variety of alcohols were reacted with acetic anhydride at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium tribromide to produce the corresponding alkyl acetates in good to excellent yields. Following this procedure, acetylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols has been performed under neutral conditions.

A highly efficient method for the acylation of alcohols, phenols and trimethylsilyl ethers with acetic anhydride is described using polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-bound boron trifluoride (PVPP-BF3) under mild and heterogeneous conditions at room temperature in good to excellent yields. The polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-boron trifluoride complex shows more water tolerant, non-corrosive and stable solid catalyst elevated Lewis acid properties.

H6GeMo10V2O40·16H 2O nanoparticles prepared by hydrothermal method: A new and reusable heteropoly acid catalyst for highly efficient acetylation of alcohols and phenols under solvent-free conditions

A new Keggin-type heteropoly acid, namely decamolybdodivanadogermanic acid (H6GeMo10V2O40·16H 2O), with nanosized particles (5-8 nm), has been synthesized by a hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and potentiometric titration. H6GeMo10V2O40·16H 2O revealed high catalytic activity for acetylation of various alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride at room temperature (298 ± 2 K) and under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst can be easily recovered and used repeatedly for five cycles with a slight loss of activity. The catalytic activity of H6GeMo10V2O40· 16H2O was higher than that of other Keggin-type heteropoly acids, such as H3PW12O40, H3PMo 12O40 and H4SiW12O40.

Reductive esterification of aromatic aldehydes using Zn/Ac 2O/imidazole or Zn/Yb(OTf)3/(RCO)2O system

Benzaldehydes are reduced by metallic zinc in the presence of Ac 2O and imidazole, giving the corresponding benzyl acetates in good yields. Reductive esterification of aromatic aldehydes is also carried out via gem-diacetoxy compounds. Carbonyl compounds are readily converted to the gem-diacyloxy compounds in excellent yields on treatment with 2molar amounts of acid anhydride and 10mol% of Yb(OTf)3 in MeCN at room temperature. Thus-formed diacyloxy compounds derived from aromatic aldehydes are reduced in situ by metallic zinc to afford the corresponding esters.

A variety of alcohols and aldehydes were reacted with acetic anhydride at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of lithium triflate (LiOTf) to produce the corresponding esters and 1,1-diacetates, respectively, in good to excellent yields under essentially neutral reaction conditions. Sensitive functional groups such as PhCO2-, OMe, and OTBDMS ethers survived intact under the described reaction conditions.
